What Do You Wear?

[jacksmommy13]

What's your daily uniform?
I usually wear yoga pants and a tee or athletic shorts and a tee. I'm always on the ground and like to feel comfy. Wondering if I'm too casual?

Just curious!

I wear the same as you. Yoga pants and a tshirt in the colder months and athletic shorts with built in spandex shorts underneath in the warmer months. I'll occasionally wear an athletic tank if out on a walk but when parents are present I put the tshirt back on over the top.

capris or long pants in a stretch twill....khaki usually. And fitted/tailored polo shirts

LuLaRoe head to toe. Leggings and the Irma top in the winter, the classic top in the summer. It's the most comfortable clothing I've ever worn.

Bib overalls or men's twill carpenter pants, with a fitted tee so I don't look like a complete slouch. Pockets, pockets, pockets: keys, phone, pen, hair ties, tissues, sometimes a bottle for the baby when we're headed outside, and always whatever weird random stuff I pick up off the floor.

Just saw that you sent me a message. I replied.

Shirts with our business name, jeans and boots in winter with scrub tops that snap up, shorts with the same t-shirts and tennis shoes for summer

Summer-Khaki shorts from Old Navy and cotton tops, T's or dress casual tops I've gotten from the Loft. They wash up well, many are sleeveless and look great and are very comfortable.

Winter-jeans that are super comfy from the Gap and usually a cardigan and nicer top. All easy wash and comfy.

I think going LuLaRoe would be awesome. So comfy and looks great!

Jeans/shorts, soft tops, sneakers and a pony tail.

Smart, but casual. I always wear makeup and fix my hair. Pay no attention to my avatar...that's just how I FEEL most days!

I am a firm believer in being comfortable...but also dressing as a business owner.

As providers, we are often not taken seriously as real business owners.

This isn't helped if a provider opens the door in her Sponge Bob pj pants.

I know I would have a hard time if I went to the bank for a loan and the loan officer was in his work out clothes because he was most comfortable that way. Even though his clothing wouldn't change his job skills...it would be hard for me to take him seriously.

It works in reverse too. Hard for the bank manager to drop off his child at daycare and listen to his provider explain policies she wants him to follow more closely......while in her bunny slippers.

The saying "dress for success" does hold some weight!

well said.

I've managed to do this job wearing jeans/casual pants and nice tops/tees for many years. I've never had issues with being able to move freely wearing that attire.

I too believe that dressing appropriately makes all the difference.

I also believe that if someone can't go that extra mile to make themselves look presentable I'd question what other things they take short cuts with.

I used to wear yoga pants a lot but I got bored of it and wanted to try and dress better for myself but still feel comfy.

I took a minimalist approach and bought a few new comfy things that were both stylish and comfortable. Comfortable well-fitting jeans (black, dark, med, light wash), some soft loose t-shirts that look more like blouses in neutrals and near neutrals. Some of the same t-shirts but in stripes and in some other colors for pop (olive, mustard, red, pumpkin). Some cardigans in neutrals and near neutrals. Some denim shorts in all washes and some bermuda shorts (navy, khaki) and some soft pants (navy, black). I had some low heel booties in black and brown and some flats in black, white and brown and bough a pair of gray sneakers.

With all of that I'm able to mix and match to make a ton of outfits that I can totally comfortable in, have full range of motion and still feel put together. Nothing expensive either, I bought the shirts at Target for $5 when they had a sale.

Here's a pic of what I mean ... white t-shirt, olive cardigan, black or dark wash jeans and I would use brown booties or flats .. maybe even my gray sneakers.

Leggings, tunics, all black yoga pants that look like regular pants but comfy. Nice tops to pair with it. I also wear makeup everyday. Most of the time my hair is in a ponytail because I tend to sweat a lot with all the running around!

Cute outfit MV. I would ruin them with bleach. :: I had to stick with a simpler work style that is easily replaced.

Jeans/ jean shorts and a button up shirt. Usually a short sleeve shirt even in winter. Mainly because I hate having my forearms covered not for any "real" reason.
